Where do you go if you're sad or if you feel like being alone?

Where do you go if you have worries or if something is bothering you? There are also times that we feel like being alone and just wanted to be in a certain place to calm us down and somewhere we feel better.

When I was in England I would take a drive to the coast and sit in the dark on the beach, seemed like the closest place to heaven on earth. But living in the depths of Ohio the beach isn't an option so I'm most likely to be found in a quiet corner of the garden just listening to the trees.

That sounds really relaxing. Being in a beach at night, especially if it is really silent and just gazing at the stars above. I like watching the stars since I was a kid, makes me feel a little dreamy. Thanks a lot for posting overhere =)

I live in Florida, so the beach is very close to us. This is the place I have found to be the most tranquil and peaceful. The soothing ocean waves can really make you forget your worries, at least for a little while. I'd love to go more often, but then I'm not crazy about have leather for skin :(

Hi summer218! You're pretty lucky to live close the beach, at least you can easily go there anytime you needed to. I don't like spending too much time under the sun too because it can easily darken and dry up my skin that's why I prefer going to the beach at night. And also because I really love staring at the stars.

in fact, i have no place to go when i felt sad. i have not enough money and dont want to waste money, so i could not go out for shopping to vent the angry emotion. at that occasion, i cannt read any word. so, i just stay at home and keep silent.

It's either I'm alone inside my room or spend my time here on mylot, since I don't want to go out or be with others whenever I feel low. I'd rather spend some time alone, then reflect on other things so that it would lessen the loads of what I'm feeling. If the feeling subsides and I feel like I can control my emotions enough, then that's the time I'll be coming out to seek company with friends.

I like being in my room too. There, I could do just about anything. If I have problems I don't cry in front of my family cause it will worries them, that's why most of the time (if I have problems) I stay in my room to cry. Thanks for your post raijin =)

Prayers really do help. There is no place as safe and as comfortable as your own room, no matter what it looks like. As long as it is yours, it always feel like your own kingdom. Thanks for your response simplyman2006 =)

Sometimes, just going as far as my bedroom and listening to some music does wonders for me. I can relax and reflect on what's bothering me.

That's another way to relax =) What type of music do you listen to in order to calm yourself and reflect?

I like music from the 80's too =) I still listen to Wilson Philips and Bryan Adams songs up to now =)

I listen to raggae or 80s music. Actually, anything with a beat and that could be considered 'feel-good' music works for me.

If someone bothers me and I don't like what he or she is doing or saying, I just ignore him or her and think of not getting angry. When I am worried, I just go to the nearby garden me in my city and relax and pray to God there about my worries and think in calm atmosphere of the garden to do what now ? Many people have many ways to relax. I just have this old one.

hi, when i am sad and when i feel alone, i go to the grave yard and sit there thinking about how short this life is and why people dont realise that we are here for sometime and it would be so good to be with people who want your love and want to talk or just share. most of the people are running after what the really need the least eeven in their spare time, while being with someone cooly and sharing tings about life that really matters is so needed and is an essential part of life. you know, people always ask what is our purpous in life, i think it is simple, firstly to Glorify GOD ALMIGHTY and then to share love as much as possible. so yes, i spend my time a lot in the graveyard when i am alla lone, also keep quiet if i am in my room, i dont worry any more about company and i think i can go by without 1 for the rest of my life, as long as i am true to GOD that is enough. but yes come what may never forget to thank GOD and smile. love, smiles, apple.

Hi apple! I've marked your response as the best. I agree, we should always seek God's help first in time of troubles. Nothing could ever go wrong with His guidance. It is definitely silent in the graveyard though I don't think I will choose it as my place to relax. I think it would freak me out to stay there for couple of hours especially if it's dark, sorry I guess I've watched too much horror movies =)

For me, it depends on where I am at. When I am at work, I tend to go run to the bathroom, and hide in a stall, and cry or Pray and meditate on things. When I am at home, I tend to want to go hide out in my bedroom for a while and hide from people (husband included), usually with taking time to Pray a little about the situation, and then if I am feeling too down, I usually will take a nap as well to see if I feel any better when I wake up.

Hi KrauseHome! I do the same too. I also hide in the bathroom and cry there if I don't feel really good. I really don't want other people to see me crying especially my family because I don't want them to be worried. I also like being in my room if I'm home. My room is my safety haven. Thank you so much for posting! =)
